Reservoir eutrophication prediction with explainable framework integrating temporal convolutional networks and bidirectional sequence modeling

Abstract Accurate prediction of total nitrogen (TN) concentration in dam reservoirs is recognized as one of the significant challenges in water resources management. In this regard, the present study, to develop an intelligent and robust modeling framework, introduced the integra...

Postbiotic polysaccharide and peptide-enriched electrospun nanofibers based on polycaprolactone/ethyl cellulose/sodium alginate as bioactive macromolecular matrices for aflatoxin M1 adsorption in milk

Abstract Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in dairy products raises many food safety concerns due to its toxicity and resistance to conventional processes. In this study, a novel bio-based adsorption system was developed using electrospun polycaprolactone/ethyl cellulose/sodium a...

Influence of salt concentration in the drying Lake Urmia on the saltwater intrusion

Study region Lake Urmia and its adjacent coastal aquifer in northwestern Iran, a region that has experienced substantial lake shrinkage over recent decades. Study focus Lake desiccation has increased salinity and water density while lowering lake levels, introducing competing con...

Production of biodegradable film based on beta-glucan/polycaprolactone modified with extract of oak fruit pair, apricot kernel and gold nanoparticles: Investigation of physicochemical and antioxidant properties

<title>Abstract</title> In this study, a polycaprolactone (PCL) and beta-glucan (BG) composite film was prepared. Oak fruit pair extract (OFPE) and apricot kernel extract (AKE) and gold nanoparticles (AUNPs) were used to modify the structure of the composite film. The physicochem...
